Readers don't believe Hueso's tale

Letters to the editor on Ben Hueso's allegation against Carl DeMaio for Aug. 30, 2013

Hueso’s timing is suspicious

I’m with those who find the timing of this Carl DeMaio wannabe-a-scandal just a little too neat. Big labor supported Bob Filner last year, then kept its big mouth shut all through the Filner sex scandal, refusing to demand his resignation, as did some prominent Democrats, including Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi.

Now all of a sudden state Sen. Ben Hueso pops up out of nowhere and claims he saw Carl DeMaio, who might run for mayor, masturbating in a City Hall restroom? If DeMaio were a Democrat instead of a Republican, we would not be hearing this unlikely story. Given the timing, it smells like week-old flounder.

And why was Hueso watching DeMaio in a public restroom to begin with?

Doesn’t believe the allegations

To Carl DeMaio,

Your interview on FOX 5 NEWS was outstanding. The allegations that were levied against you by Ben Hueso and company simply do not make any sense whatsoever.

The telling aspect is that Hueso did not release information of this so called conduct during the November mayoral race, when the unions, Filner, and the Democrat party were looking for any and all mud to sling at you.

Councilwoman Marti Emerald’s statement that Hueso had “told her of his observation” simply does not ring true, and in fact demonstrates that she is paying up for support of her political future. The fact that Emerald was one of the last to continue support of Bob Filner really exposes her for her lack of integrity.

Since I prefer to think the best of people, I am really attempting to think that Hueso might have mistaken any observation he may have had, and that he permitted his imagination to cloud the truth.

Please continue to be the gentleman you have always shown yourself to be, and you will have the support of many of us.

Politics as usual, slinging mud. State Sen. Ben Hueso’s claim of Carl DeMaio masturbating in a City Hall men’s room is just bizarre. If it was done, and it is a really big if, DeMaio was in a private area, not for public viewing, and it wasn’t intended to offend or hurt anyone.

So, if it is such a big deal, why did Hueso take four years to say something, and maybe a bigger question, what was he doing trying to check out Mr. DeMaio’s private parts.

Lie-detector test, Hueso?

I thinks it’s time for Sen. Hueso to step up and take a lie-detector test.

Lack of decency

Mr. Hueso’s lack of decency showed through loud and clear in his attempt to hide behind anonymity in publishing slime. Thank you OC News for exposing Hueso. I wonder how many mirrors he has in his office and home.

Smear campaign

I was wondering how Sen. Ben Hueso came up with such a lame, unproven allegation about Carl DeMaio masturbating In a City Hall Public restroom that was open to anyone passing by?

Hueso is insulting the intelligence of the people of San Diego. Why would anyone stand in an open public restroom committing such an act?,

It also seems strange that it took four years for this to be released by a Democrat against a Republican who is running for Congress against a Democrat, Scott Peters. It is a blatant attack against

Carl DeMaio’s character. This will not hold water with Carl taking a lie-detector test and the ability of the citizens of San Diego to see through this union-backed smear campaign on a person who has done so much for our city.
